Tasting notes
The 2022 Zinfandel Papera Ranch is silky, layered and super-refined. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, cedar, leather and dried flowers all meld together in the glass. The 2022 doesn’t have the exuberance of the very best years, but its balance and overall freshness make up for that. Best of all, this will drink well with minimal cellaring.

A youthful magenta/purple-tinged color, the 2022 Zinfandel Papera Ranch reveals more high-toned aromas of cinnamon, juicy fresh mixed berry fruit, and fresh pine. Medium to full-bodied, it has a more linear feel at this stage. It’ss going to take time to open up and show its best, but I love its more nervous energy at this stage already. Drink 2025-2040. I love it.
